Remove WiniFixer. Description and removal instructions

Title: WiniFixer
Type: Malware	Severity scale: (80 / 100)

WiniFixer is a rogue anti-spyware program. It is, essentially, a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics (popups, fake system notifications) to convince the user that he is infected, in hopes that he will buy WiniFixer to dispose of the problem. This parasite usually infects the sytem by using trojans, such as Zlob and Vundo. WiniFixer is a "product" of Pandora Software - a program of highly dubious nature, which is also behind such scams as SpyAway and the recent InfeStop. WiniFixer is a clone of the said two rogues.

WiniFixer is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block winifixer.com using your HOSTS file.
